Postmodern prospects for conceptual modelling
نویسندگان
چکیده
A number of recent developments in software engineering — from agile methods to aspect-oriented programming to design patterns to good enough software — share a number of common attributes. These developments avoid a unifying theme or plan, focus on negotiation between different concerns, and exhibit a high level of context sensitivity. We argue that these developments are evidence of a postmodern turn in software engineering. In this paper, we survey a number of these developments and describe their potential implications for the practice of conceptual modelling.

متن کاملOceanographers' contribution to climate modelling and prediction: progress to date and a future perspective.
The ocean plays an essential role in determining aspects of the climate through its influence on coupled processes involving the atmosphere, cyrosphere and biogeochemistry, including budgets of heat and carbon dioxide and sea-level rise. Here, the key developments in ocean modelling over the past 20 years are reviewed and the prospects for the next 20 years are outlined, considering a hierarchy...
